What are the benefits of a morning routine? What are the benefits of displaying the morning routine?



Students, especially special education students, do not want to feel the anxiety of not knowing what to expect. Having a routine that is used each and every day, allows all students to develop a sense of consistency. Morning routines also keep students on task and efficiently working, which sets everyone up for a successful day! Morning routines also prevent the teacher from dealing with the common questions such as, how long is this going to last or what are we going to do next? Posting the morning routine in the classroom where all students can view it, serves as a quick reminder of what to do next. Students can easily forget what is expected of them, therefore, providing a printed version in the room eliminates all confusion. Students succeed in a consistent, organized environment!
